A Look back
DRUE Dobermann Rescue Registered Charity 1169697
One thing photography continues to teach me is that creativity grows when you allow yourself to step into unfamiliar spaces.
Last year, I photographed a Doberman charity event which, if you know me, is slightly outside of my usual photography work.
What I thought would be a straightforward event shoot quickly became a day of adapting, observing and genuinely connecting with people and their animals.
At one point I was rolling around in hay trying to photograph dogs at eye level. Later I found myself in the stable stroking horses and speaking to owners about the comfort and companionship animals bring into their lives.
The experience reminded me that photography isn’t always just about the image itself. Sometimes it’s about being fully present in an environment long enough for people to trust you with real moments.
Definitely one of the more unexpected shoots I’ve done, but one I’m grateful I said yes to.
